THE PADDOCK MURDER.
Examination OF witnesses In the Trial
Of Muncrath.

Sioux Cry, Sept 1l.-Although but
little that il new has been brought to
light. good progress Is being made In the
trial. Nine witnesses were examined,
being the same as gave testimony in the
Arensdorf trial and telling the same story.
The principal testimony was given by
Leayitt and Hon. II. p. Murphy. The
former testified to Muncrath's activity In
trying to get somebody to whip Haddock
and to his presence on the night of the
murder lie was uneasy and restless
while waiting for the return of the hack
that followed Haddock and Turner to
Greenville, and made great mistake
when he hailed the hack In which Murphy
was going home. Leavitt swOre that
Muncrath stood close TO him and near
Arensdorf when the shot was fired
Murphy testified to the hack episode
wherein Muncrath hailed the hack in
which he was riding from the depot to
his residence and how he apologized
when he found out his mistake Murphy
has known Muncrath for years and there
Is little chance that he was mistaken in
the man. Not near SO much interest Is
taken in tho trial rs In the trial of Arcns.
dorf. although 1t is remarked that the
jurors are more attentive and have not so
much Of that you can t convict him any

the former trial Lcavitt and wife are at
the Booz. He has theater now at Sault
Ste. Marie, and was on the lake on his
way here during the terrible storm re.
ported last week. The steamer, which
was wrecked, was only sixteen miles be.

In THE COAL REGION.
A Partial Strike in the Lehigh Neigh,
bOrhOOd.

PHMADELPHIA. Sept. 13-rhe officials
of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation com.
pany knew very little concerning the
strike. The storm throughout the State
has disarranged the telegraph wires. and
what information the company had was
from private sources. IL was learned tina
President Harris was in the district. and q
letter received from him contained the in
formation that the men, contrary TO the
usual custom, had not communicated with
him, but had gone out on strike without
laying their grievances before him. Gen.
cral Manager Mcleod, Of the Reading rail-
road, said yesterday: There has been
no strike of the Philadelphia 81 Reading
Coal and Iron company employees. and we
did not expect one. In fact am quite
confident that we shall have no trouble
We know what the demands Of the men
are, and we can adjust the difference with
out trouble. No reports Of strikes have
been received. and we believe that all our
men are at work and that they will not
90 out. The strike may have some effect
upon the coal trade, but we shall not feel
it,"
General Manager Mistar. Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company, late yesterday
afternoon, was not at his Office, but one OF
his assistants said: The men at Sbamoa.
kin have gone out. There was only one
colliery working there, however, and
about 800 men were employed The men
are still working at Nanticokc, Lykens
and Williamstown, but Of course we can
not say whether they will remain ut work
or not.

WINNErKA, ILL.,, Sept 12.-While a
funeral procession was driving east to
Crosse Point yesterday morning at 8
o'clock, and when one mile west of Crosse
Point. it met bus load of young men
and women from Chicago picking nuts
along the road. They had guns and a
keg of beer with them, and had been
drinking freely, having visited saloons
both in Crosse Point and West Crosse
Point. As the last carriage of the pro-
cession passed enc of its occupants, Mrs.
Henry Selle, of Crosse Point, was struck
by bullet, fired by one of the party of
Young men, and instantly killed. The
picnic party, some six men and four wo-
men, were at once placed under arrest by
the men in the funeral procession.
Threats of violence were made, but a
local constable arrived opportunity and
took the whole party to the Crosse Point
lookup. The fatal shot was fired by Frank
Rinkerberger, and the occurrence appears
to have been entirely accidental. Their
party went out from Chicago, two wagon
loads of them, on a nutting expedition,
and in bibulous and somewhat hilarious
state, were shooting at a mark. The
coroner's inquest will be held at North.

New Orleans Picayuns, Aug IS.
The story of how The Louisiana State
Lottery Company deals out fortunes every
month is known far and near. Chances
in the drawings are eagerly taken by all
classes. How many persons haye been
suddenly made rich by this institution
would be hard to tell-the number would
almost seem incredible. 1t can be safely
said, however, that residents Of every State
in the Union have profited by 1t. One OF
the many made happy by the last draw.

Houston, Tex, who held onetenth Of No.

by Mr.. George II. Zapp of the same place.
This gentleman. accompanied by his son.
arrived in the city Wednesday night, and
on presenting his ticket at the Company s
Office the following morning was handed
check on the New Orleans National Bank.
He was greatly in need Of the money, and
on the receipt Of the newsof his good luck
he fairly wept with joy. Mr. Zapp is a
native of Germany, but for the past eight
wears has made his homo In Houston
where he has been clerking in cotton
press. He Is a large, fine looking man,
IS years of age, and has wife and thrse
children. He has not decided what use he
will make Of his newly found fortune,
but will look out for some profitable way
of investing II. Mr.. Zapp has visited
New Orleans before and will remain here
several days to renew old acquaintances
Apropos of Mr.. Zapp's visit to thi:
city it might be mentioned that his
nephew, Mr.. Orsini Zapp. OF Round

in May. 1885. He was also the winner o.

won in straight heats, 1t was closely con,

AN ITALIAN DOCTOR.
A Notable Paper Read Is efore the Modi.
caI Congress.

WASHINGTON, Sept. O. AT the opening
ofthe Medical Congress, Sept. Z, President
Davis called Prof Durante, Of Rome, TO
the chair as Vice President from Italy to
preside while his compatrot from Naples,
Prof. Semmola, should read the paper OF
the day. Prof. Semmola took the ground
that modern tendencies were In the direc'
ton of hypothesis and abstract theory
and urged return to the safer and more
conservative though, perhaps, slower
methods Of experimentation and exact
entertainment OF facts. The fundamental
scope of medicine, he said. was the care
Of disease. The progress OF medicine to.
day In the art was hindcFcd by the tend.
ency to bacteriology, which threatened
TO grow into system OF itself instead OF
becoming and remaining the handmade
and auxiliary OF applied medicine. Ger
tainly microscopic world does exist the
exploration OF which brought to light
myriads Of enemies Of mankind, but a
solution of the problems thus presented
to the practitioner are yet unattainable.
Many of the theories presented for the
destruction of the microbe which causes
disease. would. IL acted upon, first kill
the patient and then doubtless destroy the
microbe Doctors should emancipate
themselves from the improved theories Of
the present as well ~ the unfounded
dogmas of the past. The Professor was
rendered a vote of thanks for his paper,
The general session then adjourned for
the day.
